Happy Sunday! Yesterday I was in Hunstville, Alabama for a fun event that some demonstrator friends host there each year. Not only did I make some new friends at the event, but I got to hang out with some of my favorite people in the world – members of my InKing Royalty team.
The event centered around projects designed by the demonstrators who hosted the event. When demonstrators get together, though, there’s always time for a card swap. π I designed a sweet-and simple card to celebrate and welcome a new baby. One card shows a pink house against a blue background, and one shows a blue house against a pink background. Here’s the card I made for the swap:
- A Good Day & Better Together. My card combines two stamp sets that come together for a super-sweet baby card. The image of the soft-and-adorable bunny is from the A Good Day stamp set (from Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Occasions Catalog), and the sentiment is from Better Together sentiment (from Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog). Together with the house and the soft colors, they are perfect for a sweet baby card. Here’s a look at A Good Day stamp set:And here’s a look at the Better Together stamp set, which has lots of great sentiments for lots of great occasions:
- Welcome Home. I love the little house in the Welcome Home Framelits Dies (coordinates with the Home Life stamp set for a wonderful bundle). The shape of the house gave me just what I needed to build a sweet baby card. Once I cropped all of the houses (some were cropped with Blushing Bride, and some were cropped with Soft Sky), I slid the base of the house into my 1-1/2″ Circle punch (until it would slide further) and punched the circle. So easy! That gave me the perfect peek-a-boo hole for the sweet bunny from A Good Day. Here’s a fun photo I grabbed before assembling my cards:
- Infinity Shot. I don’t often make multiples of the same card, but when I do, I like to snap an “infinity shot” of the cards lined up beside one another. Here’s my infinity shot of these baby cards:
Stamp Sets: Better Together, A Good Day Papers: Bundle of Love Specialty Designer Series Paper, Crumb Cake, Soft Sky, Blushing Bride, Thick Very Vanilla Inks: Archival Basic Black, Stampin’ Write Markers (Soft Sky, Blushing Bride) Accessories: Welcome Home Framelits, 1-1/2″ Circle punch, Stampin’ Dimensionals
I hope you like these sweet baby cards. I was happy to share them with my friends at the Huntsville event. Thanks for stopping by today!

Thanks so much, Katrina! I think the bunny is adorable (just like newborn babies). π
I’m in awe. The little house for the bunny is genius. Gorgeous to look at as a group!
Genius?! Thanks, Mary! I appreciate it. Always lovely to hear from you. <3
A fun card, and so creative Brian!
Thanks, Dawn! I had lots of fun with this. <3
So precious and so creative! Love the bunny!
So glad you like it, my friend! <3
Sweet card!
Thanks, Dianne! <3
That little house is so precious! Thanks for the great ideas. Happy Sunday!
I love this house – I can’t stop reaching for this die. <3 Thanks, Christina.
I have to admit that those are the sweetest baby cards I’ve seen in a long time. Babies are soft and sweet and Bunnies are soft and sweet – you can’t get a better match then that! Love them Brian! In addition I would bet that no other person brought a welcome baby swap card and it’s always fun to be unique and outstanding.
Thanks so much, Grace! I think the bunny is one of the sweetest images we have for babies right now. So glad you like the cards! <3
Wish I could have gone to Alabama yesterday! And this baby card rocks…..genius use of the die cut!
It was a fun trip, Linda! So glad you like this card. Thanks for your sweet comments!
Definitely adorable card! Always love your infinity shots.
Thanks so much, Sue! I can’t make a bunch of cards without getting the infinity shot. π Glad you like it.
Love this cute, fun baby card, Brian. I’m sure you were the hit of the party. Truly an ingenious use of the house die. I am always in awe of your infinity shots. Enjoy your day!
I’m so happy you like it, HJ! The card was fun – and there were lots of “hits of the party” at this weekend’s party. π Thanks for your comments.
So fun! Great use of that DSP. If a person wanted to really use it as a baby card and didn’t know if it was a boy or girl – yellow and green would be easily substituted. Heck, I could see this as a pet adoption card putting a little puppy or kitty in there! Love your infinity cards as well as the little pack of houses.
Pet adoption card – great idea, Chris! I made all cards with blue and pink so they’d be versatile for ANY baby. So glad you like it.
So super cute, just the type of card new parents love receiving
π Thanks so much, my friend. I just adore this bunny.
Absolutely adorable. I love your infinity shot, too. Hope you had a great time.
Thanks so much, Nancy! I’m so glad you like the card and the infinity shot. π
How adorable! I love the little bunny house, youβre so innovative!
Thanks so much, Nina! I love the house, and I love the bunny. Seems to make sense that I’d love them together. π
How adorable is this card!!! Love it when you combine several stamp sets and dies and punches to create something totally amazing.
This is one of the sweetest baby cards I’ve seen, love it Brian, thank you for sharing.
